‘Their Finest’ represents a particular long-running strain of British filmmaking – nationalist period pieces with a touch of comedy and heaps of melodrama. It’s not a particularly high-minded or ambitious little feature, but it wi...

Oh hey! Another zombie movie. Yay? The shuffling and/or running undead have been inescapable in recent years and are among the biggest stars on TV. Just when it feels like there’s very little left to be dug up from this particular...

I’m quite cynical about Hollywood insider films (including Oscar front-runner ‘La La Land’). The joke used to be that if you wanted to make a film that was certain to get accolades, it had to be about the Holocaust. Now, you only ...
